Watch out for blowing snow during the day.

In the eastern part of the Low Tatras at altitudes above 1700 m above sea level there is a low avalanche danger (1st degree). Locally it is possible to find snow slabs and pillows from the last snowfall on the leeward sides - especially under saddles, rock walls, in moguls and steep troughs of S exposures. These will be melted during the day due to bright sunny weather.

The weather during Saturday will be influenced by an outbreak of high pressure. The cold sector will be replaced during the night by the passage of a warm front, gradually warming up and the winds will die down. Expect clear to partly cloudy weather. Snow distribution from the last snowfall is highly variable. Large amounts have been blown by strong winds up to the mid-elevations, but there are cushions and slabs of wind-blown snow lying on top of the old frozen snow at the leeward extremities of the highest elevations. During the day the snow will set and become heavier on the S sides of the mountains. A continuous snow cover can be found from 1700 m above sea level.
